Finally ticket prices announced. $1500-7500. And even at those prices they are expected to sell out almost immediately....
Think I'll be watching from one of the casinos nearby....

Have nothing to do with the tension of the holyfield vs Tyson´s fights..... nothing. There is too respect between of them.....and i don´t like it.

I get what you're saying. The press conf wasn't tense at all.... Except for Arums little digs here and there it was relatively drama free- they all seem to be caught up in the "momentousness" (is that a word?) of the occasion rather than the usual drama you expect.... but there's plenty of time yet...

Mayweather tends to get intense at the weigh-in only up to then he normally keeps it professional.... Manny is a nice guy always even on fight night.

Yeah but for example with Marquez in the 4 fights , there there was more emotion in the pre fights..... With Mayweather until now all very light... I dont like

As Mayweather uses the chicken ´s tactics, the fight will be bored.... very bored.

Canceled my flights today... Didn't get tix obviously, but the whole BS around tickets etc was pretty unmotivating... Knowing there are 16000 people in town that have paid 4k+ for a ticket, I clearly wasn't gonna be able to get a table or access to anywhere I would have wanted to go in Vegas this weekend... With that kind of wealth in the line ahead of me...

I'm looking forward to this fight but I wonder if it will live up to the hype for the casual sports in NZ unless there is a dramatic ko.
For a varying amount of reasons NZ seems to be obsessed with heavyweights and I can see the sort of fight we might see on Sunday will not appeal.
I hope it is not the case as the exposure in main stream media is huge for the sport in NZ but if it goes the distance and is a little one sided to Floyd I think people will see that as an anti-climax given how much hype there is around for this fight.
It will be a big downer if NZ sports fan walkaway from the fight disappointed.

I'm going out on a limb and saying there will be a KO. Pacman will swarm him like a pack of bees, and he'll either stop him, or Mayweather will counter him like Maquez did.
I DO prefer the heavyweights, probably because of Tua and Cameron, and now Parker. BTW, they had Lonergan on TV3 this morning, talking about the fight, but no mention of Parker's next opponent.
